Isaiah 14:9-15 ▼

9 Sheol beneath has been troubled at you, || To meet your coming in, || It is waking up Rephaim for you, || All chief ones of earth, || It has raised up from their thrones || All kings of nations.

10 All of them answer and say to you, Even you have become weak like us! You have become like to us!

11 Your excellence has been brought down to Sheol, || The noise of your stringed instruments, || The worm has been spread out under you, || Indeed, the worm is covering you.

12 How you have fallen from the heavens, || O shining one, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to earth, || O weakener of nations.

13 And you said in your heart: I go up into the heavens, || I raise my throne above the stars of God, || And I sit on the mountain of meeting in the sides of the north.

14 I go up above the heights of a thick cloud, I am like to the Most High.

15 Only—you are brought down to Sheol, || To the sides of the pit.
